Description
Nya Black, Dara Cheng, Brandon Grasty, and Dylan Boucher published a chemistry study in 2026. The study finds a new way to measure how well a light-driven catalyst works. The catalyst they used is an iron compound that breaks bonds when light hits it.
Older ways to measure this yield are costly, slow, or fail when the catalyst glows weakly. The team instead used an electric method that tracks current as voltage changes. The current rose with light strength, and that link let them read the yield straight from the test. Computer models backed the result, and checks showed heat played little role. The method also gave facts about the next step, where a chlorine atom attacks a carbon bond.
